Art School: Summer Youth and High School
Add structure and creativity with our In-Person Summer Art Camps!
Summer Camps and Classes
At the EAC, we value creative exploration and cultivation because there are no "right" answers in art! There are just different ways to approach and solve problems, think critically, and achieve goals. We focus on sharing new techniques and skills that enhance existing interests and allow for multiple perspectives and interpretations.
In-Person Camps
Join us for our In-Person Camp offerings beginning June 9! Due to high demand and limited space, we encourage you to join the waitlist if a camp is full. If there’s enough interest, we will do our best to add an additional session.

Full Day Campers
Full-day campers should bring a nut-free lunch and will join our 'Lunch Bunch' during a 30-minute supervised lunch period. Please ensure your child’s lunch and snacks for the day are clearly labeled with their name. If your camper has any allergies or special dietary information, please let us know via the Emergency Contact Form or contact our Director of Education, Ellie Hazlett at [email protected].
Students with Disabilities are Welcome!
The EAC is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all students. Our facilities are wheelchair-accessible, including power-assist doors, an accessible restroom, and an elevator. If your child requires any accommodations, please reach out to our Director of Education, Ellie Hazlett, as early as possible. We welcome any information you’d like to share to ensure your child has the best experience.
Outdoor Breaks May Be Planned
Campers may visit our cordoned-off parking lot, nearby McCulloch Park, or another local park for a break during the day, weather and safety permitting. Please pack sunscreen and any sun protection your child may need.
Questions? Contact Us!
Our Director of Education is happy to chat with you about what camps she recommends for your child and to answer any questions you may have. Please contact Director of Education, Ellie Hazlett at [email protected].
Emergency Contact Form Required
Before the first day of camp, all guardians must complete an Emergency Contact Form that includes emergency phone numbers and medical information. We suggest filling this form out before arrival to help expedite the first-day check-in process.
